I'm sorry for leaving you hanging like this! I removed the video some time ago -- I'm a medical student, so with upcoming applications to residencies I felt it prudent to cut down on my internet presence. I hope you'll forgive me! I'll outline the steps here, but I know that a video is so much more helpful so maybe some other kind soul who's got the technique down can fill in.

1. After washing your hair (however you choose), rake a leave-in conditioner through soaking wet hair. I usually begin right-side up and flip upside down in the middle of this step. Rake through until well distributed and your curls clump together into beautiful, wet locks. I'll almost always stick to Knot Today if I'm using KCCC, since I find it plays super well together. For my thick, fine, shoulder-length hair, I use about a dime sized amount.

2. STILL UPSIDE DOWN, tilt your head to one side. This brings down the hair at the nape of the neck and some of the trickier spots on the top of your head. Take a scoop of KCCC (about dime sized for me), rub between palms, and scrunch into the hair, concentrating on the tricky spots you're exposing. KCCC does not distribute well for me, so I need to apply directly to hard-to-reach areas if the product is going to get there at all. I find that 5-10 scrunches is plenty.

3. Also still upside down, turn your head to the opposite side. Repeat step 2.

4. Return your head to center, and take a final scoop of KCCC. Scrunch into the hair, as evenly as possible. This gets the front bits and any ends you may have missed.

5. If you're like me, I usually get some residual product hanging out on my knuckles by this point. Recollect it onto your fingers, then gently feel the underside of your hair (you're still upside down!) for any crazy/messy curls. Smooth them out with the excess product, and scrunch a couple times to put that curl back.

6. I like to take a linen towel and scrunch the excess moisture out of my hair now, but there usually isn't much. After this, gently swing your head around to stand up straight, and let your hair fall into its natural place. Dry however you like, then scrunch out the crunch.

I hope this is vaguely helpful. Let me know if you've got any questions. Snuggles!

I'm fascinated and I appreciate the helpful tips. What I'm mostly curious about is how similar our hair looks when wet. I can't seem to maintain the curl you have throughout the day. I wonder if it is because my hair is longer than yours. I would die of happiness if my hair could look like yours.

What do you like best about the KC duo? What do you feel it does for you?

Outside of how much I like the physical properties of the products (I don't have to fight with the KT to apply it since it's got so much slip, and the CC smells so wonderful and feels deliciously like snot) and how they're all-natural and lasting me a lifetime... hmm. Well, I think I get softer hair with the KC products than I've been able to get from any other combo. It just FEELS so unbelievably silky. Also, it makes my curls very resilient. None of my products really crap out on me as the day goes on (I either chose them that way, or my hair has a kind soul), but the KC products seem to enhance this and make my hair BOING. I can also usually get 2nd day hair with this stuff.

And, for someone who's growing out her hair, the obvious elongation factor is kinda nice at the moment. I still can't believe my hair looked so long in that video. It shrunk up a tiny bit once it dried some more, but :blob7:

It was too funny to see how excited you were about the length

Thanks for the video. I normally rake the CC in, but I am not 100% happy with my results. I am going to try scrunching it in next time.

Another wonderful movie!! Good job! This was fun to watch since I used this combo this morning. This is almost exactly how I do it, except I plop with the Curlease instead of scrunching it myself. When I started out using this combo, I used a little BRHG, too, but realized my hair seems to curl up better without that harder gel -- probably due to my looser curl pattern.

Cute! Thanks, mysteryflavored. I do have one question...I have noticed this combo (KT & CC) works better for me on the days I wash with at least a little Come Clean rather than just a conditioner or water wash. Is this true for you?

I don't own Come Clean, but I haven't really noticed a difference in performance on the days I do shampoo compared to the days I don't. I also haven't paid attention. :laughing7:

LOL, I guess when you've got curls that don't quit you don't have to pay attention to those kinds of things. Your hair is great. Love it!

Echoing all the other comments - great video. Enjoyed it and found it helpful. Gorgeous curls!

2/c Coarse hair med. density.

I love all the Curl Junkie products. Still experimenting with gels and curl creams. Still hoping for 2nd day hair.... Every day is a gift :flower:

you are just too cute. i almost wish i would have hung on to my kink curly products a bit longer because that was so not the way i was applying the product. ah well at least it gives me some ideas on how to apply my other products. oh and it also makes me want to go out and buy that jane carter stuff. urgh.

First off, you are soo freaking cute, love you and your video! Second, what is your entire hair routine? My hair is around the same length and the same curl type. Thanks.:toothy7:

Umm, you mean outside of what I did in this video? Just co-washing with Suave, really. I shampoo on an as-needed basis (aka, when I get too stupid with the protein), condition heavily every day or two, and don't DT. No 'cones, very low on the protein, and pretty heavy on the oils. I've been CG-ish for over 9 months, so it's taken me a while to get here.

Yep, sorry. How many times a week do you co wash with suave and what suave do you use? What poo do you use when you do poo? Thanks.:toothy7:

Thanks for taking the time to do this! I usually rake my products in but I'm gonna try scrunching them in next time. I don't know if it's all the raking or that I now have a looser curl patten (henna), but my curls have been turning out stringier lately. Anyways, off to experiment!!

Ok, a few more questions if you don't mind. How much condish do you use to co wash and how much do you use to conditon/detangle? Lastly, after you rinse off the suave then you apply the kinky curly leave in, right? Thanks.:toothy7:
